Why? Memorial Day isn't a sacred eating day, like Thanksgiving or Christmas.

A few times I've just driven off and went somewhere else.

Why would the frosty machine produce a baked potato?

I don't like soda so I get a frosty instead.

WTF is up with that? :confused:

They were probably out of stock. No more BBQ till the McD truck comes tomorrow or the next day.

No it is not. You obviously do not get the point. Go take a trip to Arlington.

I went to Target yesterday looking for hydrogen peroxide. They were completely out. There was an employee standing there, and i'm like "so, you are going to seriously tell me that you are out of hydrogen peroxide? Did you guys have a big run on it this weekend?" he called the stock room...completely out. WTF. :confused:

And on the flip side, I ask for ketchup here and they give me 10 pouches. I toss 8 back.

So what was sold out? The quarter pounder or the BBQ sauce or both?

I figured I'd give McDonalds a shot this time since I found spiders in my car at Wendys last time. :D

OMG! That's why I only shop at Target now.

You're lucky you didn't get a McHeartAttack :)

Target?..what do you mean?


I know McDonalds is going to kill me one day. I don't eat it often. I usually eat healthy during the week, and I eat out on Fridays and Saturdays. On Sunday nights, I like to go get fast food and watch tv. Yesterday (memorial day) felt like a Sunday since I had off from work, so I did the fast food thing.

the burger king tries to tell me that too, but when i get 5 orders of chicken and 3 of those have onion rings in them, 3 ranch just wont cut it. ive gone inside and argued with the manager, which usually ends up with me getting two ranch per item. that manager hates me. i try to spread those trips out so she has a chance to forget me and my truck before attempting to get decent food from them.

If you want decent food, don't go to McD's, BK, Wendy's, etc.

I have the same luck with KFC...one time they were OUT OF CHICKEN. WTF???? Anyone I go into, their credit card machine will be down so I can't pay, their drink machine is down, their drive through speaker doesn't work. Never fails. haven't eaten there in a year as a result.
